<h1>
    Context Menu</h1>

<p>
    The <strong>Context Menu</strong> is a pop-up menu that appears whenever you
    click a file or a folder inside the CKFinder interface with the right mouse
    button, use the <em>Menu/Application</em> key on your keyboard, or the
    <em>(Ctrl+)Shift+F10</em> keyboard shortcut. It gives you access to file browser
    operations that are available for a given type of object.</p>

<p>The context menu can also be opened by clicking the down arrow icon
    (<img src="../../files/images/CKFinder_menu_arrow.png" width="9" height="7" alt=""/>)
    that is available in some environments or in mobile browsers next the name of the
    active folder or in the file boxes, as visible in the figure below.</p>

         alt="CKFinder context menu with helper arrows"/>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Each context menu consists of a series of options (commands) that can be
    selected in order to perform a specific operation that they are associated
    with.</p>

<p>
    <span class="info">Note:</span> Some context menu options may be disabled (and
    thus grayed out), depending on CKFinder settings enforced by your system
    administrator.</p>

<h2>
    Using the Context Menu</h2>

<p>
    In order to perform an operation listed in the context menu, click it with the
    left mouse button. You can also move up and down the context menu with the
    <em>Up</em> and <em>Down Arrow</em> keys or the <em>Shift+Tab</em> and
    <em>Tab</em> combinations. Once an option is highlighted, you can activate
    it with the <em>Space</em> or <em>Enter</em> button. If an option is grayed out,
    it is unavailable unless some pre-conditions are met (e.g. you have system
    permissions to make specific changes to a file or folder).</p>

<h2>
    Available Menus</h2>

<p>
    The menu is context-sensitive which means that the options displayed in it
    depend on the object that you select. The following are the menus that you may
    encounter while working with a standard CKFinder installation.</p>

<h3>
    Folder Context Menu</h3>

<p>
    It appears when you click a folder in the <strong><a href="003.html">Folders Pane</a>
</strong> with the right mouse button (or use the keyboard shortcuts described
